The setting sun poured down like molten gold, the sky was brilliant and blazing, and even though the sun was setting, the heat in the air still stubbornly refused to dissipate.

Old Master Jiang sat comfortably in a wheelchair, his eyes following the setting sun that slowly sank into the horizon, a calm and peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.

When Gu Ranle suggested going to the gate together, Mr. Jiang just waved his hand gently. His calmness and indifference revealed that he knew about everything that was about to happen but had no intention of getting involved.

Jiang Haisheng stepped forward at the right time and pushed him back to the house to rest.

Some people, out of sight, out of mind.

After they returned to the house, Gu Ranle and Butler Zhao came to the gate together.

The scene before him was just as Butler Zhao had described. There was a bustling crowd outside the door, and all kinds of faces were illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, like a flowing painting of the city life.

At the front of the crowd, Jiang Lan and Yu Chuan's outfits were particularly eye-catching. They seemed like two peacocks that had just returned from a tropical island, colorful and full of vitality.

Jiang Lan was wearing a colorful dress with a seaside style, the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a touch of freshness in the summer.

Yu Chuan wore a floral shirt and floral shorts, and both of them wore fashionable sunglasses. This outfit made people wonder if they had just returned from a vacation on a sunny beach.

However, what was a little surprising was that Jiang Lan and Yu Chuan’s three sons did not appear with them.

Gu Ranle couldn't help but feel a little confused. Just as she was about to ask Butler Zhao, she saw three figures slowly walking out from the back of the crowd. They were all shirtless, wearing flip-flops, and looked extremely casual.

"...This is truly a 'weird' family of five."

Gu Ranle muttered to herself in her heart. Even though she had already seen the "unusualness" of this family, the outfit in front of her still made her a little puzzled.

The door of the Gu family was closed. Gu Ranle wanted to go out but was stopped by Butler Zhao.

"Miss, you can't go out now." Butler Zhao looked serious, with a bit of worry in his tone, "Although you are extraordinary, the quality of those people outside is uneven. If something goes wrong, it will be more trouble than gain."

Gu Ranle nodded slightly when she heard this. She has always been a person who listens to advice and knows that it is not appropriate to act rashly at this time.

Seeing that Gu Ranle no longer insisted, Butler Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked towards the guard room, and brought a chair for her.

"Bring me that handheld loudspeaker as well." Gu Ranle shouted.

It's so hard to speak loudly with so many people.

It would be much better to have a handheld speaker.

After sitting down, Gu Ranle picked up the handheld loudspeaker and gently tested the sound. After confirming that it was correct, she spoke loudly to the crowd outside through the iron gate.

Although the voice came through a loudspeaker, it was still clear and powerful, revealing an aura that should not be underestimated.

In particular, Gu Ranle had a faint smile on his face. Although the voice was transmitted through the loudspeaker, it seemed to carry an invisible chill that went straight into people's ears, making people feel an inexplicable chill in an instant.

"Good afternoon, everyone~"

There was a hint of teasing in her tone, but it also revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.

“We’re not good at all!”

A voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, with a hint of provocation.

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly. From her angle, she couldn't directly see the person who made the sound.

She gently shook the speaker in her hand, and the smile in her voice became more intense.

"You are hiding in the back like a slut. Are you too ugly to face people? Then you are really not good at all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd fell silent, as if overwhelmed by her aura.

However, the person who spoke did not show up.

Gu Ranle was not in a hurry. She had the system at her disposal, so why should she be afraid of not being able to catch the little mouse?

"Gu Xiaohei, please tell me the man's appearance, clothing, and location."

[Woman, you didn't complete the task of increasing my favorability that you promised me yesterday! ]

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so don't be impatient."

[You woman, you are talking nonsense. I will never believe you again! ]

"You're not going to provide any information, are you?"

【right! 】

"Okay, then I'll just go for broke from now on and get my favorability back to the lowest point."

【you……】

Gu Xiaohei was so angry that he was fuming, but he finally compromised in humiliation.

[The man, who was not ugly, was wearing a black cap, a black mask, and a gray sportswear, and was standing at the back of the crowd.]

Gu Ranle got a satisfactory result, and a delighted smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, while she did not forget to flatter Gu Xiaohei.

All the joking aside, we really need to speed up the process of gaining favorability.

She had already cured that bastard Li Shenzhi's eyes and restored feeling to his legs, but he didn't even give her the slightest bit of favorability.

This is really unreasonable!

Thinking of this, Gu Ranle put down the speaker in his hand, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, tapped the screen a few times with his fingertips, and sent a slightly provocative message to Li Shenzhi.

[If you haven’t fallen in love with me by 24: tonight, you will be upgraded to my ex-fiancé again starting from midnight tomorrow.]

A brief and concise final ultimatum.

Butler Zhao, who was standing nearby, accidentally saw this message, his eyes widened immediately, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Is the eldest lady really going to break up with Li Shenzhi?

If it were in the past, he would have been 100% in favor of the two breaking up.

But now, after spending some time together, he felt that Li Shenzhi was actually a pretty good young man, and a good match for the young lady.

If they really broke up, he would probably be very sad.

After all, he had even prepared the money for attending their wedding.

Butler Zhao's mood was like ripples blown by the wind, and it took a long time to calm down.

Gu Ranle, on the other hand, had regained her usual composure. She raised the horn again, her voice carrying a hint of teasing and provocation.

"Hey, my friend wearing a black cap..."

She paused here deliberately to arouse everyone's curiosity, and then slowly uttered the word "man", as if announcing to everyone that although the voice sounded soft and delicate, it actually came from a man's mouth.

The crowd began to react, turning their heads and looking back, trying to find the mysterious speaker in the dense crowd.

However, black baseball caps were so common in the crowd that it was difficult to identify the target at first glance.

The man who was mentioned felt the curious eyes from all around him and his body stiffened slightly involuntarily, but he still tried to remain calm and did not show up immediately.

Seeing this, Gu Ranle raised a meaningful smile and continued to describe: "Let me guess, are you still wearing a black mask? Hmm? Am I right?"

Even so, there are still several people wearing black masks, making it difficult to identify them.

"Wearing a grey sportswear, standing at the back of the crowd."

As Gu Ranle described in detail step by step, the target in the crowd gradually became clear.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, a passage was cleared, and Gu Ranle finally caught sight of the mysterious figure.

She hooked her fingers gently, with a smug smile on her face, as if everything was under control.

"You must be curious about how I saw through you. Come to the front and I'll tell you the answer."
